What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk and dead insects might be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

Silverfish have been on the ground hundreds of thousands of years previously before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there’d been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter homes through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is known as food for these insects.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they’re likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that should they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

They are found hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic materials. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

In spite of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
